On a beautiful day in June, Laura and Austin got married in Salt Lake City. Later that night in a friend’s backyard, they had their wedding reception that was packed with lovely details, beautiful people, delicious food and dancing.
Here they are, funny and fun, Laura and Austin.

Jessica and Jared got married in Salt Lake City, Utah at the Point just above the campus of the University of Utah. They’ve known each other since high school (he was in love with her/she had a different boyfriend), but they didn’t start getting all lovey-dovey until a few years after that.
But get this: One day Jessica’s mom asked what Jared’s last name was. Jessica said it was Bybee. Jessica’s mom was a little bit in shock. See, a few years earlier, Jared’s father, a brain surgeon, saved Jessica’s dad’s life when he was rushed to the hospital with some trouble with his brain. Now, their kids are married.
Meet Jessica and Jared.

I’m very excited to announce a photography project for the brides of 2010. If you’re getting married, or you know someone who is, may I have your attention, please? I have an announcement.
It’s called Love’s First Year, my latest photography project. I love to photograph weddings. I love recording authentic moments as they unfold. What I really love about this, and the thing that compels me to be a photographer, is the chance to record history. Record life. This project is about making those kinds of images I love, and creating a record of your happy beginning.
For the next 10 brides who choose Justin Hackworth Photography, I will photograph you and your spouse five times over the course of your first year. Think about the moments that will mark your first year of marriage–time at home, time with friends, out on the town–and imagine having stunning images of those events. At the end of your blissful first year, you’ll receive a fine art book with images from your five sessions. I dare say it may become a family treasure.
And the news keeps getting better. If you’re one of the next ten brides, not only will you have professional photos that document your life together, but Love’s First Year is included in your wedding package.
Brides of 2010, You’re Cordially Invited to Love’s First Year
- Who: You and the love of your life
- What: A one-year photography project by Justin Hackworth Photography
- When: Your first year of marriage
- Where: Wherever your life happens
- How: Contact Justin for details

Brian and Abi had their wedding reception at the White Willow in Provo, Utah, then got married the following day at the Mount Timpanogos Temple. And I was there to photograph these love birds.

For Lizy and Nick’s engagement pictures, we drove out on the North side of Utah Lake. They were real champs and didn’t balk at the idea of walking out in a teeny bit of mud, even though they both had new shoes. And let me just say, their shoes were fabulous. So here they are: Lizy and Nick. Beautiful.






If you’d love to get some gorgoues pictures for yourself and someone you love in a classic documentary style, we should talk.
Lisa and Greg got married in Salt Lake City at the Point in February. It was lovely as can be and I was happy to be there.

It was a beautiful and small wedding. Sixteen people total. That includes the bride and groom, the guests, and the little boy carrying the ring. Eighteen people in all if you count the bishop and the photographer. By the way, the last picture shown in this post may be my favorite group shot I’ve ever taken at a wedding.
The event took place in Salt Lake City at Heritage Gardens.
Here’s a slideshow of more of their wedding pictures.

Here were my two favorite things about Rachel and Micah’s wedding day in Salt Lake City. I loved the speeches from her parents, and I loved hearing Micah play the violin, accompanied by Rachel. My other two favorite things were hearing Hannah sing and watching their slideshow. Rachel and Micah are so classy and refined and I’m really happy to have been there.
Wedding: Salt Lake Temple
Dinner: The Lion House

Rachel is like her mother–charming and composed. In fact, the whole family is like that. I photographed her sister’s wedding a couple years ago and I’m thrilled to be shooting for this family again. And after being with them, you always walk away with a smile.







You can buy prints here and see the rest of her bridal pictures.
Rachel was photographed at her house in Salt Lake City. She was a real champ too, standing out there in the cold the whole time. Here’s the support team. Thanks Arial!

She’s a writer. He’s a builder. Now they’re married.
Here’s a three minute slideshow if you want to see more of their wedding pictures.
And here’s where you can view the entire event and order prints.



















They met like this: Her dad started a motorcycle shop. He hired some guy to run the place. I think that guy knew Greg. Then Lisa was at the shop or something. There was also something about kissing. Listen, the story was complicated. What it comes down to, really, is that in February, Lisa and Greg are to be wed.
Here’s a one minute slideshow with a few more of their engagement pictures.







Gooooo Buffaloes!
